The artwork, titled “Hotel Sube,” was created by Raoul Dufy in 1926. It is associated with the Naïve Art (Primitivism) and Post-Impressionism movements and falls under the genre of cityscape.
The artwork depicts the facade of a vibrant building, featuring a hotel and restaurant, rendered in an energetic and colorful style characteristic of Dufy’s artistic approach. The structure stands out with its bright yellow and orange hues, contrasting the deep blues and greens of the surrounding buildings and the evening sky. Detailed features such as shutters, windows, and balconies add architectural richness, while the presence of a statue in the foreground provides a focal point of interest. The somewhat abstract representation of the cityscape, along with the whimsical and lively brushstrokes, captures a sense of movement and liveliness, embodying the essence of the Naïve Art and Post-Impressionist styles.
